FEM Analysis of the Spur Gears Press–Rolling Process
Abstract
This paper presents the FEM (finite element method) analysis of the pressingrolling process, a new method for obtaining spur gears. Using symmetries, the 3D geometrical model was created for tools and for the initial blank. The FEM analysis was carried out using Forge 2009, a specialized software for studying the plastic deformation processes. The objective of this study is to describe the evolution of the pressing and rolling forces in the press-rolling process.
